The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing. After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

The City of Annapolis has an election coming up. Yes, it
is an "off" year election cycle and there are changes afoot.
This week, Tim and John sit down with Marc Rodriguez and talk
about his yet-to-be-officially-announced candidacy for Alderman for
Ward 5 in the City. Rodriguez discusses his roots in Mexico City
and Hillsmere (yes you read that right), what he has been doing for
Alderman Littmann who will not be seeking another term, and
what he brings to the Council chamber for the Latino community and
the larger Annapolis community.

Thank you to everyone who wrote with suggestions for upcoming
episodes. We are on it. Coming up in the next few weeks will
be Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Wes Adams and a candidate
for Mayor of Annapolis that will shake that race to its core. You
will hear it here first!

But still, we have some gems you will want to check out! Most
recently....

We recap 2016. Our last episode of 2016 was a
lot of fun and lacking any direction whatsoever. We talked about
how we decided to do The Maryland Crabs, where we want to go in
2017 and beyond, some of our past guests, and how good the lunch
really was at Sammy's
Italian Pizza Kitchen in Eastport!

Governor Larry Hogan invited us into
his private office for Jaegerbombs and wings while we watched the
Ravens. OK, so maybe it was more of a conversation with the
State Police watching over us making sure we did not swipe the
guitar off his office wall...but we did have a great
conversation.

Oh hell...just go back and listen to the ones you have not
heard! And PLEASE be sure to tell your friends about us!

A peek into next week....Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Wes
Adams....after that whole Hogan thing, he only agreed to speak with
us if we agreed to be searched on the way out of the
Courthouse....apparently the Governor wants the stapler back that
Tim took.
